The refugees sounded distress signals over the dire living conditions they have been made to endure in the arm-free camp.

They also called for lifting the siege and allowing a safe passage for humanitarian and relief convoys out of and into the camp.

The displaced Palestinians further urged the UN to take up its responsibility and to seriously work on lifting the tough siege and to ensure that no human rights violations occur in the camp.(T/P008/R03)
